As we embrace the arrival of mid-autumn festival, which is held on the 15th day of 8th month of the lunar calendar, the Chinese community always gets ready ahead with mooncakes for the celebration. Mooncake is one of the key elements of the festival, hence, it is also known as the mooncake festival.
In Chinese culture, a round shape symbolizes completeness and reunion which is why most mooncakes are made in the shape that resembles the moon. Thus, the sharing and eating of mooncakes among family members and friends during the festival signifies the completeness and unity.
Every year, hotels around Kuala Lumpur will produce their own unique mooncakes with beautiful packaging that you can deliver it to your families and friends as a gift in conjunction with the mid-autumn festival. Here’s some of the best collections from the hotels for 2023’s mid-autumn.
